Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate

Ammonium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate (CAS #62152-14-1) is a synthetic polymer derived from 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), formally described as 1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monoammonium salt, homopolymer. It functions primarily as a viscosity controller and emulsion stabilizer in cosmetic formulations. It is notable for working across a wide pH range and demonstrating electrolyte tolerance. It enables gel-cream-like textures and imparts a light, silky, and cool skin feel.
